IT WILL TURN COOLER THURSDAY AND LESS HUMID BY THE TIME WE GET TOWARD FRIDAY. IT'S HAD TO COOK'S CORNER. WE ARE MAKING A YUMMY DESSERT. WE ARE JOINED BY ERIC FROM ERIC'S FARM STAND IN PELHAM. WONDERFUL STRAWBERRIES, FUN TO PICK IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. WE ARE MAKING THE OLD-FASHIONED STARBOARD SHORTCAKE BISCUIT, INSTEAD OF BUYING THOSE KOOKY THINGS YOU GET IN THE SUPERMARKET. THE BISCUIT WAS DESIGNED SO IT WOULD ABSORB THE JUICES AND GET ALL OF THE FLAVORS AND BE A REAL DESSERT. IT IS SIMPLE. TAKES ABOUT 20 MINUTES TO PREP IT, 10 MINUTES TO COOK IT. FLOUR, HALF A TEASPOON OF SALT -- DO NOT OVER SALTED, OR IT WILL TOUGHEN THE BISCUITS. TWO TABLESPOONS OF SUGAR. THREE TEASPOONS OF BAKING POWDER. WITH THIS, JUST QUICKLY, YOU SIFT THIS TOGETHER, MIX IT UP. YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE IT IS ALL INCORPORATED. THAT IS EASY WORK WITH A FARMERS HANDS. WE ADD FOUR TABLESPOONS OF SHORTENING. THIS IS WHAT GIVES IT SOME OF THE LIQUIDITY TO IT. LIKE THAT IS WHAT GAVE ME MY HEIGHT, BY THE WAY. AND THEN YOU CUT IT IN. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE A CUTTER. IT IS JUST EASIER. IT CUTS IT IN REAL QUICK. THE GREASE BREAKS UP IN IT AND OTHERS THE FLOUR AND OTHER FLAVORS. MIX IT ALL TOGETHER. THEN YOU ARE ADDING 3/4 OF A CUP OF MILK. THIS SEEMS EASY SO FAR. NOT LIKE I HAVE A LOT OF TIME TO SPEND IN THE JUDGE AND. WE JUST MAKES THIS -- IN THE KITCHEN. WE JUST MIX THIS UP. IT IS A DRIER MIXTURE, NOT LIKE A CAKE. GET IT ALL INCORPORATED. YOU ARE GOING TO TURN IT OUT ONTO A LIGHTLY FLOURED SHEET. THE KEY TO THIS -- SHOULD MAKES IT JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE, BUT -- YOU WANT TO NEED IT LIGHTLY. -- KNEAD IT LIGHTLY. DON'T OVERWORK IT. YOU NEED THIS TO BE A HALF-INCH THICK. YOU PUT IT INTO THE OVEN. THE MAGIC OVEN. HERE WE GO. THE BISCUITS THEMSELVES TAKE 425 TO BE COOKED FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES. WHEN THEY ARE OUT, THEY WILL BE HARDER ON THE OUTSIDE BUT SOFT IN THE INSIDE. FASTBREAK THOSE APART AND LOOK AT THAT. WE HAVE STRAWBERRIES AND THEY PUT A HALF CUP OF SUGAR FOR A QUARTER STRAWBERRIES. LET THAT MACERATED IN THE JUICES. THIS IS HAND WHIPPED CREAM. A LITTLE BIT OF SUGAR. THE MANCHESTER FARMER'S MARKET IS -- IN MANCHESTER FARMERS MARKET STARTS ON THURSDAY, JUNE 19, TOMORROW. IT RUNS FROM 3:00 TO 6:30 EVERY DAY ON THE CORNER OF PINE AND CONCORD STREET, ON THURSDAY, MAINE OR SHINE.
